Design Technology Technician
We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join our successful and welcoming school as a Design Technology Technician.
Working as part of our Technology team, you will provide technical and creative support for practical lessons, ensuring that equipment, materials and resources are well maintained, safe and fit for purpose. You will work closely with teaching staff and students, providing practical guidance and helping students to bring their design ideas to life.
We are looking for someone who is organised, practical and enthusiastic, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Previous experience of working with children or young people would be an advantage, as would experience in a relevant practical or technical environment.
A current First Aid qualification, or a willingness to undertake First Aid training, would be desirable but is not essential.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
